It's one thing to say it's not a joke (obviously it's not), but then everyone's telling this guy it's not reddit, yet are piling all over him like it is.
Obviously emotions are high, that's valid. But it's just a stupid joke, like I'm 100% positive this guy meant no harm. Let's move on. And I'm concerned about Ogopogo, and all of the Okanagan, like I think everyone else is, including this guy.
People forget too that Ogopogo is a HUGE part of the tourist component there, just like Nessie in Scotland.

I really want nothing but the best for the region which so closely identified with Ogopogo.
